A NEW SCHEME,

Certain Western Railroads Find New
Way of Discriminating in Freight
Rates.
CHICAGO, July 16.-Before the interstate
commerce law went into effect a favorite
practice of the railroads who desired to cut
rates and discriminate was to grant rebates.
This being prohibited, some of the western
roads have now hit upon plan by which
they can still discriminate in favor of large
shipping. These roads are paying 10
per cent. of the regular rates to par
ties securing them business. While these
roads pretend to pay such commission
to freight solicitors only, yet the
commission can be paid to any member
of firm on the pretense that such party is
freight solicitor, and consequently dis
ordinations can be practiced to the same
extent as if rebates we're being paid. The
practice of paying commissions for the sale
of tickets has long been and still is in use by
most of the western roads but never has been
tolerated on freight business. The applica-
ton of the commission principle on freight
traffic by some roads is likely to bring the
commission question to focus. Severai of
the roads aver that if the practice of paying
commissions for the procurement of freight
is not stopped at once, they will meet the
amount of commissions with an open tariff.

A SENSATIONAL STORY.

Tho Hungarian Cokers Said to Have
Planned an Attack Upon the Pinker-
tons.
PITTsBURe, Pa, July 16.-A sensational
dispatch to the Chronicle Telegraph from
Greensburg, Pa, says: Information reached
here this morning that plot had been laid
by the striking Hungarians at or near the
Leisenring works to surprise the Pinkerton
detectives at that place and drive off all the
new men working there. All the details had
been arranged by Hungarian who held q
high position as an officer in the
Hungarian army and who had been
drilling the strikers. The strikers, consisting
mostly of Hungarians, were to have pro-
ceeded to Leisenring at break of day next
Monday and disarm all detectives and
wound or kill all who dared to resist. The
aforesaid Hungarian becoming scared, gave
the whole thing away to an officer at the
coke works and bought ticket at Scottdale
for New York and left there this morn
ing for the east. He informed
the officer just as he mount
ed the train that his life
would pay the penalty for the treachery
to his countrymen if he remained. Wheth-
er "Hans" will carry out their plans without
him or await more favorable opportunity
could not at this writing be found out, but
they are doubtless nervous and the sligh test
provocation may lead them to do almost
anything. The report was not credited by
operators here. They report everything
quiet and the strike nearing an end.

CARDINAL MANNING is described by

CARDINAL MANNING is described by
q recent visitor as *weirdly impressive
at night" Wearing his block cassock
and scarlet cap, seated by the blazing
wood fire in his study, ih which fifty
couples might waltz with perfect COM
fort, his eminence will discuss any
subject, from the DEGREES of the Council
of Trent down to . paragraph in the
society papers. No subject is too large,
no topic too small. for him to converse
upon. He is teetotaler-has been
one for years-as all know; and eats
just as much as will keep the machinery
of the body properly fabricated and no
more. When he was made Cardinal,
some seven years ago, some OF his flock
sent round the hat to enable him to
pay the fees tabout $1,000 without
personally inconveniencing himself
Il should like to see your eminence
riding in something better than that
shabby old brougham,. remarked IN

the great man, with . laugh and mer-
. twinkle in his eye, ~when cardinals
vent about riding N hns carriages they
generally went 70 the devil.

NOT SIMPLY COURTESY.

The Tender af the Vessel to the Hawaiian
Queen Business Measure.
New YORK, July ia Washington spec
ial says: The tender of the United States
vessel as convoy to the queen of the
Hawaiian islands is more than courtesy.
Our government will send trusted officers
with the ship and undoubtedly new in
structions to our naval vessels which should
now be at Honolulu. IF there
is any need of immediate
communication with our authoritives
the coast survey steamer 'Haster, which is
to act as convey, will at once return to the
United States as bearer of dispatches. The
government feels the need of more speedy in
formation than can be obtained by regular
steamers and thought it best to have fast
sailing vessel for the use of our repre-
sentatives on the islands. The absence of tele-
graph communication at this juncture will
surely result in movement to secure cable
connection with Hawaii at an early day.
Some of the friends of Mr.. Carter, represen-
tative of the Hawaiian government here,
are of the opinion that he may be recalled to
serve as prime minister or to form new
cabinet. All admit that Kalakaua can only
retain his crown by carrying out the wishes
of the foreigners, who really control the
affairs of the islands and who represent its
wealth and industries.

a Boys Religion

If boy is lover of Jesus, he Cant
be church officer, or preacher, bnt
he can be godly boy, in boys way
and in boys place. He ought not to
be too solemn or too quiet for . boy.
He need not cease to be boy because
he is Christian. He ought to play
like real boy. But in all he ought to
show the spirit of Christ, and be free
from vulgarity and profanity. he
ought to eschew tobacco and intoxicat-
ing drinks He ought to be peaceabls.
gentle, merciful, and generous. He
ought to discourage fighting. He
ought to refuse to be party to mis-
chief, to persecution, to deceit He
need not always be interrupting game
to say he is Christian; but he ought
not to be ashamed to say that he re-
fuses to do something because Il i
wrong and wicked, or because he fea1s
God or Is . Christian. He ought to
take no part in the ridicule Of sacred
things, but meet the ridiculs OF others
with . bold statement that for ne

Bad Faith.

MADISON, W1s., July 13.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul began suit against the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
company to recover lands and benefits valued
at S25,GGO,0OO. Five years ago the st.
Paul company agreed with the Omaha COM
pany not to attempt to secure from the state
the possession of the Richland grant. In
return the Omaha company agreed, in the
event of its own SUCCESS, to give one fourth
of the grant to the st. Paul company, and to
allow it certain privileges from Chippewa to
Superior. The st. Paul company now seeks
to enforce the contract, and the Omaha COM
pany combats it on the ground that the
agreement was contrary to public policy and
that the st. Paul company never gave any
legal or valued consideration for the benefits
now claimed in this suit.

KILLED bx Rapacious Rodents.

DETROIT, MICH, July 13.-The remains
human being wholly unacceptable were
found Sunday on the road between Pere
Cheney and Fletcher. While the inquest
was being held young man named Davis,
who had been drawn by curiosity to visit the
spot where the corpse was found, dashed in
among the jurors with badly tattered
clothing, bloody club and solution of the
mystery. The unknown man had been
killed by field rats. Young Davis had
been attacked by them and had to fight for
his life. When he approached the spot, he
said the vicious creatures sprang upon him
from all sides, and although he killed many
it seemed only to whet the courage of the
rest. He was obliged to make run for it
and had been followed almost to the inquest,
some of his assailants clinging to him.

A Sensational Revelation.

Haven says: There is some excitement here
over revelation purporting to have oeen
made. Albert Fitzroy, of Holyoke, died a
few days ago. He was married man and
claimed he was at Savin Rock on the night
Jennie Cramer disappeared. It will
be remembered she was clothed in white
when she was seen riding on the ''merry-
go-round'' a; the rock, and Fitzroy says
he says he saw white figure jump from the
end of the long pier into
the water afte, midnight. He did
not inform the defense of what he had seen
because he was accompanied to the Rock by
a woman of bad repute. On his death bed
he said that if the Malley boys were con-
victed he had intended to tell his story in
court.

A sensatior:. Murder.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.-The most
sensational murder in Washington since
chat of President Garfield was COM
mitted opposite the end of the
treasury department this afternoon
about 5 o'clock, the victim being Joseph
c. Kennedy, aged Is years, prominent at
torney and real estate agent, and the MUIR
derer was John Daily, laborer about 50
years old. Ker uedy had just mailed some
letters and started to take car when Daily
stepped up behind him, plunged q
large knife in his right side
near the abdomen and then wrenched it.
The wounded man gasped once or twice and
fell over, dying in five minutes. Daily was
hustled off to the police station through
ar excited crowd. There he told
a rambling story about Kennedy swindling
his father out of $3, 100 years ago. Kennedy
was commissioner of the census in 1850 and
1850, and was formerly an active politician.

AN IMPORrANr DECIs1oN.

Many Entrymen.

which VIII Affect the Final Proof Of
Many Entrymen.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July ia general
principle of long standing and considerable
importance in the administration of public
land matters is reaf6rmed by Acting Secre-
tary Muldrow in his ruling upon the case Of
James Young, a homestead entryman
Of Salt Lake City. Its pur-
port is that no amount of cul-
tivation and Improvement and no showing
of good faith in other respects can atone for
lack of actual residence upon the land
sought to be secured and that even actual
residence does not give validity to the claim
except In SO far as it shows an intention to
make such residence permanent beyond the
requirement of title. Young had cultivated
fifty acres of his claim, constructed irriga-
tion and built a house in which he person
ally lived. His improvements were valued
at from 500 to $l20. His fam
ily remained on the place owned
by him half . mile distant and
it was evident that he designed abandon
ing his new claim as place of residence as
soon as he had made his title secure.
A contest was made by one Van Ostrum. q
professional contestant, who proposed gain
ing some rights and selling them out. The
officers and the commissioner decided for
Young and against Van Ostrum. The sec
retary orders modification of the decision,
saying that while Van Ostrum cannot as
sumo any rights in the matter, the govern
ment is not stopped from action and he di-
rects the cancellation of Young's claim.
The principle influences the decision in the
case of F. Young, homesteader of Huron,
Oak. He had three years of military service
to his credit and was not required to live
more than two years on his claim. He left
his family in Illinois and only spent half his
time on the claim. rendering q matter of
doubt whether he ever changed his residence
from Illinois. The local officers held his
final proof to be sufficient, but the commits
sioner reversed the finding and held the en-
try. The acting secretary gives the claim
ant the benefit of the doubt and inasmuch
as there is no adverse claimant, orders that
he be given another opportunity to furnish
final proof of his entry.
